Waitaki River Salmon Fishing - North Otago
Waitaki Salmon caught by Steve Thompson of Glenavy.

Steve Thomson from Glenavy caught this 12.59kg (28 lbs) fish to win the 1989 Waitaki River Salmon Fishing Contest. Glenavy is a small village on the north bank of the Waitaki River on State Highway 1.

The local hotel is well worth a visit. Hanging on the walls in the bar are many excellent pictures and mounted trophies of some of the biggest salmon ever caught in New Zealand.
